The details on the upcoming JCW "stage II" is out and I personally think its amazing, I was wondering what everyone else thought including what wasn't revealed.... PRICING

MINIAC · Feb 6th, 2008, 04:08 PM

I've retitled this thread as "Stage II" implies an upgrade to the dealer fitted "Stage I" Kit. This will only available from the factory.

Shame this isn't being reported on our news page

The Peanut · Feb 7th, 2008, 01:37 PM

I think the current train of thought is... if you do a search for it you will find it

Washy · Feb 7th, 2008, 01:42 PM

This does seem to have slipped under the radar a bit. I thought the launch of the facory JCW would have caused more forum activity than this.....Or is it only me that is daft enought to want/buy one.....

kevkbuk · Feb 7th, 2008, 02:51 PM

Surely it's only news when officially confirmed??? That'll come next month at Geneva.

It's not that much more powerful than the stage 1 kit, and will surely cost lots more. I wouldn't be surprised to see a base spec model retail for near £20k... Not sure if I'd order it if I had to spec again..

Yea trust me your def ot the only one, I'm waiting for the details till i decide which mini I want

And obviously itll cost more then the stage 1 but im pretty sure being from the factory it wont cost as much as the r53 kit which would put it around $25 u.s. seeing as how their are no wasted pieces that come with the original car and NO install cost

The factory R53 JCW Package was $6300 plus you had to order the Sport Package which was $1400 or $1900 depending on wheels. I'd expect to pay $6000 to $7000 extra for the R56 JCW MCS.

Washy · Feb 8th, 2008, 08:27 AM

I have read (not sure where) that the Euro price is EUR4000. Which sounds like it will be a £3000 mark up in the UK. So a fully loaded one will be up near £30k I guess....

popey · Feb 8th, 2008, 06:25 PM

After my ups and downs with the R56 Id go for an S3

or maybe a 135 BMW Coupe

. 135 is only slightly slower 0-62 than the new M3

, just think after a remap and a few bits and bobs

Strangely enough I have ordered an M3, but am temprted to get a 135 instead....might just be more fun somehow.

Tried the S3, but Audis just dont rock my world sadly....

popey · Feb 8th, 2008, 07:00 PM

Id kill for an M3 but a 27 and with a Mrs to put through another year of uni cars are on hold.

At least with an M3 you get a whole bunch of goodies at standard (as far as I know). Nice spec 135 = £35k (ish). Still I big saving on a £55k? M3

My spec is a little under £60k

So yeah a good saving

popey · Feb 8th, 2008, 07:15 PM

Ouch, major spec and a beast of a car. You gota get that, even if its just to take me for a spin

LOL

sadly due to delays with the DSG box and my place in the queue not till next year

DHA · Feb 9th, 2008, 09:06 AM

My big concern is the cost of the JCW. If it is above £25K then I will likely ask for my depsoit back and get something else, or hang onto the golf for a bit.
